View of Mt. Washington

Jasper Francis Cropsey

National Gallery of Art

This painting shows a landscape with tall, blue, snow-capped mountains in the distance. There are blue and purple clouds in the yellow sky. Closest to us is a tree-lined field covered in autumnal colors, including reds, oranges, yellows, and light greens in the trees and grass. Small white sheep graze on rolling hills leading to the mountains in the distance.
